After becoming a cannon-fodder villain in a novel, Lu Ming found himself facing Feng Aotian trying to steal his bride from the start.
To avoid making an enemy of Feng Aotian and getting killed like in the original story, he made a snap decision: he would let her have her way.
But his bride, Chen Youyou, whom he barely knew, spoke up.
"Lu Ming, I'm your wife. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you."
Lu Ming was stunned. So was Feng Aotian.
Feng Aotian: "Youyou, you said you didn't like him and were going to leave with me!"
Chen Youyou: "I never said that. I'm Lu Ming's wife now. You should leave."
Feng Aotian burst into tears~
(Some time later...)
Chen Youyou: "Didn't I tell you to stop coming here? I'm not leaving with you!"
"I'm not here for you." Feng Aotian hooked her arm around Lu Ming's and pressed herself tightly against him. "I'm here for my husband!"
Chen Youyou: "!!!"
Lu Ming: "??? Who am I? Where am I? What's going on???"
Feng Aotian grinned from ear to ear!
A few years ago, pineapple buns were nothing special, but now they seem good because they're the male lead.
The synopsis isn't included, so I'll mention it in the comments: this is a system novel, so if you don't like system novels, you can leave now.
I know you're trying to advance the plot, but can you please stop with this ridiculous logic? What do you mean by betting that his secret can help us solve our problems? Does having a secret mean you have to be his tool?
The xxn vibe is so strong that I don't know if the author is innocent or a cross-dresser.
I broke down.
The current plot has major problems. There's absolutely no build-up; the female lead is suddenly thrown into a fight before the protagonist, antagonist, and even the readers are prepared. Then it's explained that the male lead anticipated her personality and expected her to launch such an incredible attack. If this is the only way to write it, I suggest showing the male lead's preparations beforehand, instead of trying to fix it afterward (you can't just say he spent a whole night being affectionate with other female characters as preparation). But what I didn't expect was that even more serious problems were yet to come. The male lead accepts an investigation mission, and after completing it, instead of running away and gathering reinforcements, he rushes to confront the female lead head-on. He could have easily won in a direct confrontation, but then the female lead jumps in to defend him...
I like protagonists who are both strategic and cautious. The only one who satisfied me before was Ye Anping from "Passerby Junior Sister".
It's a bit strange; the male lead and Chen Youyou's relationship seems clearly not quite there yet, and then they have to do *that*.
Before you jump in, I'd like to ask if there are any lolis (young girls) in the game.
I think childhood sweethearts are the true heroines; all the others just make me dizzy. Only childhood sweethearts are true love! (๑><๑)
When I saw the part about nourishing the stomach, was there anyone who watched to the end who could tell me if there was any progress beyond that? If not, I'll wait until then to watch.
